You really need the better part of a day to read all of the exhibits, attend a few of the demonstrations, and visit the exquisite glass collections of various studio artists. The museum has something for everyone, but it is slanted toward a science perspective. Yes there is a Pyrex bowl tower, but we are talking lots of science here... more

Thanks for the great review! We're so happy that you visited, and hopefully you had time to watch the Hot Glass Show. Please visit CMoG again!

As other reviewers have remarked, this place is worth the trip. You could easily spend an entire day in the museum. The shows and demos delight the youngsters, who also happen to get in free. Price for adults ($12.50) is very reasonable for the quality of the museum. Highly recommended! more

Prepare to spend most of the day in this museum. i never thought there was this much to learn about glass! I especially liked the Glass-breaking demo, and saw the Hot Glass blowing demo twice - the first time was a gaffer with 3yrs experience, and the 2nd a gaffer with 30+ yrs experience. Awesome! Definitely an attraction for all... more

A trip through New York should include a tour of the Corning Museum of Glass (CMOG). It is not only a nice display of glass art work, but also, a wonderful showing of how glass is made and used on a daily basis. Be sure and take in the various shows during the day. Also, I would highly recommend participating... more

This is one of those museums that has it all; artistic collections, workshops and demostrations that fill your day. There is something for everyone. In addition to the hundreds of glass art dating from the ancient world to present there are regularly scheduled demos and wkshps. Photography, w/o flash is permitted. parking is free and convenient. The docents are freindly,... more

Art, technology, entertainment, great value (free for kids and teens up to 19). We spent about five hours there, and my wife still did not want to leave. Very modern and well organized more

Been there twice and really enjoyed it both times as did my family - two college age kids. Sign up for the "make your own glass" and go to the "late show" glassmaking demo outside for the best show. more

Super activities for kids and adults with free presentations going on throughout the day. The museum is huge. We booked a glass creation activity for the kids and they loved it. You'll be surprised by the quality of the very modern facility and the excellent presentations. more

We went out of our way to stop at the Corning Museum of Glass. It was well worth it. We got there just as they started their summer hours (open till 8) and it was a good thing since we spent from 10am till they closed and we weren't finished. If you like to really look a t a museum... more
